Description

Turnkey Irrigated Farm with Established Infrastructure: This Eastern Oregon farm is a must-see for anyone looking to add to their alfalfa base, run a well-balanced cattle operation, or make a solid investment. Fairview Farms is a turnkey operation located west of Burns, Oregon, in an area known for strong irrigation wells and excellent alfalfa production. The farm includes 885 acres of deeded ground with 680 acres of water rights dating back to 1982 and 1993. In addition to the farmland, the property features a variety of improvements that support the operation well, including cattle facilities, hay storage, and housing. Irrigation is supplied by four irrigation wells, with several methods used to distribute the water across the farm. Most of the ground is irrigated by three pivots, with additional acreage covered by wheel lines, hand lines, and some flood irrigation, with some portions of the farm set up as irrigated pasture. Several pivot corners are planted in crested wheatgrass and are fenced, providing additional grazing opportunities throughout the season. The current owner is running 40-50 pairs year-round while also putting up hay for sale. With cattle working facilities already in place, the property offers the ability to run a more balanced outfit and increase cattle numbers. Both the irrigated ground and range areas are cross fenced through much of the acreage, with several portions set up as irrigated pasture. A feeding lot and one set of corrals are located near each homesite, with the corrals featuring a covered working facility. The improvements are well laid out, with most of the agriculture facilities located along Scott Road, making it easy to move equipment and trucks in and out of the property. Each improvement site is perimeter fenced. The first site features hay storage. The second site includes two additional hay storage buildings, truck scales, a machine shed, a Quonset hut shop, and several miscellaneous storage buildings. The remaining improvements are the homesites. Each sits at the end of its own road, providing a quiet setting with good views of the cattle facilities and irrigated ground while still offering their own privacy. Wildlife is commonly seen throughout the area, with elk occasionally on the alfalfa ground during parts of the year and mule deer often found in the nearby rimrocks and juniper country before coming down to feed on the pivots. The property is located in Unit 71 (Juniper Unit) and may qualify for up to two landowner preference tags for both mule deer and elk. A variety of bird species can also be found across the property depending on the season, from owls nesting in the trees to hawks and eagles often perched on pivots and telephone poles watching for their next meal. Fairview Farms offers a strong opportunity to own a well-rounded Eastern Oregon operation with productive water, quality hay ground, and the infrastructure in place to support both cattle and hay production. With its combination of irrigated acreage, cross-fenced pasture, working facilities, and well-placed improvements, the property is set up to continue operating as a productive farm and ranch for years to come. The current farm manager has overseen the operation for the past 26 years and is willing to continue working with a new owner, providing valuable experience and continuity. In addition, the farm has maintained a long-standing relationship with the same dairy market for the past 26 years, creating a dependable outlet for hay production and making the property an excellent opportunity for both owner-operators and absentee investors. *Seller is currently performing a lot line adjustment.
